CHARGE! The Wildcat football team makes its festive grand entrance during the Homecoming battle against the Highland Trojans.

Space. . . The Final
Frontier

The voyages of the Hammond High Wildcat Varsity
football team brought Hammond High undefeated into
Homecoming Week 1994. After defeating Gavit, Clark,
and Griffith, the Cats were ready to take on the High-
land Trojans.

The festivities began on Monday with Class Colors
Day. The intercom blared, “Tuesday is Kiddie Day, so
let your mommy dress you!” The halls were filled with
hippie chicks and daddy-os on Wednesday for Hippie
Day. Thursday was a celebration of space and students
dressed according to their class themes. After school the
main hallways were transformed into a space odyssey.

Finally the big day arrived. The gym was alive with
the sight of homemade banners and the sound of
noisemakers as the students watched senior Dave Cline
being set-up for a game of Simon Says during the pep
assembly. After school, the annual Homecoming parade
took place. It was the largest parade in the history of
Hammond High School. That night, among the cheers of
an enthusiastic crowd and the music of the band, the
Queen was crowned and the Wildcats pulled off a vic-
tory. It was a giant leap for the Wildcat football team
and the perfect ending to a week full of fun and ex-
citement.

They say that music soothes the savage beast, but the Wildcat band, shown here tuning up for the
Homecoming parade, couldn't soothe the football team’s thirst for victory.

Game Sets Pace

Hammond a Homecoming victory.

Homecoming is the time of the year for school spirit
and fun. After a week of Homecoming preparations, the
students and football team were having fun. After all,
Hammond High was favored to beat Highland. When
the big game came around, the football team was rudely
awakened. At halftime, the score was only 2-0, and
Hammond was up by a safety. In the second half, High-
land recovered a fumble and scored, leaving the score at
6-2. It was time for Hammond to knuckle down. So, with
four minutes left on the clock, a touchdown pass put the
Wildcats up 9-6. After that the hardcore Wildcat defense
held Highland, leading to a Homecoming victory. This
game put Hammond’s record at 4-0 and paved the way
for a great season.

Mr.

Football

“What made our team so great
this year was our leadership. The
team captains Johnny, Torrey,
Mike and I helped the younger
players to win games. Our de-
fense was also a big part of our
game. We had the #1 scoring de-
fense in the area. Our speedy, big
play offense also helped to bring
us a great team this year. We
could have done better, but we
had a great season.”

A Dream Come True

The 1994-95 Homecoming court was chosen in a different
style and every girl had a chance at the crown. Preliminary
voting took place in English classes, and everyone got three votes
for their class. The top three girls chosen from each of the
freshmen, sophomore, and junior classes would compete for
Homecoming Princess and the top four seniors for Homecoming
Queen.

The candidates for the freshmen class were Cristella Garza,
Shakina Muhammad, Marika McKinstry, and Katherine Kipp.
The candidates for the sophomore class were Cynthia Garza,
Tracy Darrough, and Lisa Alicea. The candidates for the junior
class were Carla Cook, Jane Griffith, and Tameka Ross. The
candidates for the Homecoming Queen 1994-95 were Heather
Bermingham, Sparkle Box, Qwin Daniels, and Bertha Cruz.

The final voting was done on both lunch hours and after
school on high tech voting machines. Every student voted for
their own class princess, a Queen candidate, and a Mr. Football
candidate.

Finally, at halftime during the big game, the winners were
announced. Sparkle Box was named the 1994-95 Homecoming
Queen with Cynthia Garza, Tameka Ross, and Marika McK-
instry following as princesses. DeMario Watkins was named Mr.
Football.

Everyone that participated helped to make Homecoming an
event to remember.

What’s your favorite time of the year? Think back on the summer months.
Where were you? The following pages will take you on a journey through the
summer life of some of the students here at Hammond High. Each picture has
a story all its own.Not all of our stories are represented here.

Our Wildcat cheerleaders were busy working hard at cheerleading camp. On
the top are Carmen Diaz, Heather Matney, Sarah Hamel, Cindy Hart, Jane
Griffith, Maria Spector, Heather Bermingham, and Amanda Knight. The
middle row features, starting from left, Misty Strain, Tenesha Pennington,
Jennifer Rencich, Carrie Hutton, and Darleia Rardin. Pictured on the bottom
row, from left, are Jessica Doherty, Sparkle Box, Holly Grudzien, Tracy

Peter McAdams, Brian Monberg, Shannon Bartlett, and Caryn Corriere spent
one week as delegates to Girl’s/Boy’s State at ISU. Here they studied gov-
ernment.

Jeff Dick and Melisa Rodriguez studied science at IU Bloomington. Al-
though they are shown in “Uncle Chuck” Sizemore’s classroom lab. Melisa
and Jeff were involved in field study and the writing of research. How many
of you found yourselves arguing this summer? Brian and Matt Monberg
attended debate camp at Marquette University, while Jan Cluck and Carmen
Diaz earned knowledge at IU Bloomington.

Maria Spector attended diving camp at the University of Wisconsin,
Madison. Also in Wisconsin, but at Green Bay, Anna Barrera and Larry
Graham studied math and science. Three of our choir members had the
good fortune this summer to tour Europe with the United States Collegiate
Choir. Graduate Maria Rodriguez, junior Diana Cruz, and senior Ebony
Rutherford visited Paris, France.They sang at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London,
England. Tiffany Hendrix also visited the port city of Brest in France while
staying with a host family for six weeks before visiting Paris.

Red Ribbon Week:
A Drug Free
Celebration

in Highland. Photo by: T. Bulatovich

Although school was only in session for three days, the
Red Ribbon Celebration was still in full swing. The week
kicked off on October 22nd at the Kickoff Dance, held at
St. James Hall in Highland. Two busloads
(approximately 125 students), from Hammond High
attended. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Bartlett chaperoned the
event. At the school, students from SADD decorated the
school. We also had a visit from two Crash Test Dum-
mies, who visited classrooms and passed out red rib-
bons. The week concluded with a two hour dinner at
Eggers Middle School, complete with balloon animals, a
puppet show, and other entertainment. U.S. Congress-
man Viscolsky also paid a visit to the dinner.

Red Ribbon Week was started as a tribute to Drug
Enforcement Administration Special Agent Enrique
Camarena. His death in 1985 while on assignment in
Columbia touched many Americans and prompted the
founding of the red ribbon movement. Red Ribbon
Week occurs during the last week in October and is a
celebration of living drug free lives.

HHS Celebrates Its
Diversity

Hammond High School’s Third Annual Ethnic Dinner’s theme says

all. Photo by: T.Bulatovich

Every November, Hammond High celebrates Wildcat
Pride Month. Wildcat Pride Month is an opportunity for
all of Hammond High’s ethnic groups to come together
and to demonstrate the peace that exists in its halls.
Hammond High has one of the most ethnically diverse
student bodies in the city.

There were many activities that took place during the
course of the month. Some of these activities included
the decorating of the halls and the third annual ethnic
dinner, which was put together by Mrs. Houser.

At the ethnic dinner, many people of different cultures
and nationalities came. Each prepared an ethnic dish.
The dinner and the month is a time for Hammond High
to prove to itself and others that students from different
cultures and backgrounds can work together in peace,

A Night Of
Dancing In
Moonlight And
Roses

The day was Saturday, January 14th, 1995. It was a
fairly average day. When 7:00 came around, however,
the partying began. Everyone arrived at the Broadmoor
Country Club in Merrillville arrayed in their best attire,
ready for a night of fun, dancing, and “Moonlight and
Roses”. The Winter Formal almost didn’t happen this
year, but enough people signed up at the last minute.
The DJ was great, and the fruit was delicious. As for the
rest of the food, that’s up to personal opinion. All of the
people who signed up late were glad they signed up,
because it was definitely a night to remember.

"What is that?”, Phillip Vaccaro asks Bernice Flores as he decides
what he wants from the fruit tray.

Keely Jones and her date show the crowd wha they’ve got.

While enjoying a slow song, Angel Vilella and Karen Lawley sneak in a

Nathan Jefferson and Sonja Summerhill do the “butt”.

“This song needs more beat,” says senior Paul Gleason as he adds his
own sound effects. Obviously his date, senior Holly Biro, doesn’t
agree.

David Cline hopes he can remember the words to the song he is singing
to his date.

“I thought three was a crowd!” says senior Chris Jurca.

Cats Slam Panthers

The 1995 Basketball Extravaganza a.k.a. Homecom-
ing Week was kicked off with several spirit days, in-
cluding a Flannel Day, Red & White Day in the spirit of
Valentine’s Day, Sports Day, Class Colors Day and, of
course, a Purple & White Day. The Student Government
also sponsored a scavenger hunt between the first period
classes. Competition was stiff, and there was a three-way
tie between Mrs. Houser’s, Mrs. Schiralli’s and Miss
Parkhurst’s classes. The winner was decided when a
name was drawn, and Mrs. Schiralli’s class was treated
to a breakfast of doughnuts and juice.

The night of the game arrived, and the Wildcat bas-
ketball team killed the Griffith Panthers by a score of 86-
69 in their last conference home game of the year,
earning the Wildcats the championship title. This
Homecoming win was sparked by forwards David
McAdams and Cory Moore’s dunks during the game.
This victory extended their home game winning streak
to nine. During the halftime gala, Demario Watkins was
awarded the Homecoming King title with junior Philip
Vaccaro, sophomore Mario Jones and freshman
Sherwin Johnson following as class princes.

Somos Uno

-We Are One

With these words, Hammond High’s 1994 Hispanic
Heritage Program was brought to a close. Each year,
Hammond High School celebrates its diversity by pre-
senting both a Hispanic Heritage Program in September
and a Black History Program in February to the student
body. This year’s Hispanic Heritage Program theme
was “Somos Uno”. The students were called upon to use
their imaginations and imagine that they were in Mexico
on a fiesta day. This was made easy as they watched
Jason Osborne and Rebecca Rodriguez of the Ballet
Folklorico and fellow HHS students perform native
Mexican dances in full costume.

The theme of the Black History Program was “Respect
Yourself’, and its intent was to raise students’ self-
confidence. During the course of the program, students
watched a tap dance routine, listened to a piano solo,
watched the choir, saw a step routine and heard a poem.
Special guests were a group of students from Maywood

School who recited a poem and did a dance and ac-
robatic routine.

Both programs had guest speakers, Rogelio Dom-
inguez for the Hispanic Heritage Program and Dr. Leon
Hendricks for the Black History Program. Both speakers
spoke about the importance of staying in school, striving
for the best and taking advantage of any opportunities
that come one’s way. They spoke of hope and of over-
coming limitations set by others and asked the students
to find the courage within themselves to succeed.

Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month
are times to honor these cultures and their histories. It is
important to know about one’s culture and the culture of
others. At the same time , however, it is also important
that ethnic diversity is not used as a reason for seg-
regation.

Inducted

April 6, 1995 was Honors Night at Hammond High
School, and approximately two hundred students were
honored for either achieving perfect attendance or earn-
ing honor roll recognition during the year. The National
Honor Society induction was held during the same cer-
emony. Normally in the auditorium, the program was
held in the gym this year. New members of the National
Honor Society were given special recognition, and the
former officers passed their gold cords onto the new
officers in a symbolic gesture. Four candles, each sym-
bolizing scholarship, character, leadership, and service,
were lit. Guest speaker Leroy Harwell, Jr., stressed the
importance of hard work, dedication, determination and
academic excellence to the students. Before the cer-
emony there was a miniconcert held by the music de-
partment. Afterwards, the adult Booster Club and the
National Honor Society parents sponsored refreshments
for the parents of the honorees.

Learning

Experiences

An authorized absence from school to go to Great
America for the day? Or to the Dunes? Is something
wrong? No, these trips are school-related field trips.
Students jump at the chance to miss school for an “extra
learning experience.” Some of the “experiences” this
year included a trip to Purdue University Lafayette to
see Macbeth, Physics Day at Great America, the annual
trip to the Dunes with Mr. Hayden, a trip to St. Joseph’s
College in Rennsaelaer for a journalism conference, to
Chicago to see Romeo and Juliet and trips to the zoo.
More local field trips were to Morton High School for
Law Day, to East Chicago Central for the World Affairs
Conference on Terrorism, to the local elementary
schools as a DARE Role Model and to teach Junior
Achievement.

Although the weather may not have cooperated for all
the trips, a majority of the students who attended en-
joyed the day away from everyday school work. Some
students may have actually had to do an assignment
while at the field trip, but it surely paled in comparison
to the regular daily work load in school. Fun was had by
most, and all will look forward to the new and exciting
“extra learning experiences” in the years to come.
Teachers also usually enjoy going on field trips, because
they can apply what they have been teaching to everyday
practices.

and Amanda Teague. The experience was

Memories to Last a

Lifetime

From the times that we are young, girls always look
forward to “The Prom”. In our hearts, it is a magical
event full of romance and mystery, and these feelings
continue on throughout our high school years, where
prom is probably the most anticipated of the year. After
all, besides Winter Formal, it is the only formal dance
during the year, and it is the last time for seniors to get
dressed up and be with their friends and fellow class-
mates. The 1 995 prom theme was “Memories that Last a
Lifetime”, and many memories were made that night.
After months, or in some cases just hours, of prep-
aration, the night finally arrived and the students began
arriving decked out in their prom finery. There were a
wide variety of styles and tastes present, ranging from
elegant to flashy to frilly. Their handsome escorts also
had a chance to show off their own sense of style, and
many arrived in tuxes that reflected their personality,
whether it was a colorful abstract pattern or Mickey
Mouse. Whatever their personal sense of style, everyone
looked their best and enjoyed themselves as they danced
the night away among their friends.

And The March
Goes On

On May 24, 1995, the class of 1995 confidently
marched into the gymnasium and took their seats for
Senior Honors Day. In front of the entire school, many
seniors were recognized for various hard-won awards
and achievements. Among those recognized were Jeffrey
Dick and Shannon Bartlett, who were recognized as
valedictorian and salutatorian of the class of ’95, and the
members of the National Honor Society were also rec-
ognized along with the winners of scholarships, sport
awards and various academic achievements. Congrat-
ulations to all those recognized and to the graduating
class of 1995 on a job well done!

Snowball Teaches

Junior Heather Matney celebrates Red Ribbon Week during October Operation
Snowball.

Many students in the 1 990’s are faced with pressures
to do things that they would ordinarily never think of.
Unfortunately, some people give in to these pressures
and damage their bodies and brains by taking drugs or
drinking. Snowball helps people to overcome negative
influences by teaching them to respect themselves. A
person with self-respect will not let someone pressure
him into doing something that will hurt his body. Snow-
ball also teaches the many dangers of drug and alcohol
abuse. A person in Snowball realizes how extremely
dangerous, and even deadly, drug abuse can be. In the
Snowball meetings, teenagers and experts present skits,
speeches and seminars on the dangers of drug abuse. The
three or four-day meetings are held at schools, where
participants stay for a few nights and develop close
friendships. Snowball also sponsors dances, and even an
end-of-the-year prom, to bring together old friends,

Did you know that one of our former presidents used to swim naked in
the Potomac River? Do you know what the antiderivative of an equation
is? Take an AP class and you’ll learn the answers to these and other
questions, along with sometimes unusual facts and figures.

Hammond High School offers five different Advanced Placement
(AP) classes. They include art (Mrs. Baumann), calculus (Mr.Wysocki),
chemistry (Mr. Sizemore), government (Mr. Dennis) and U.S. History
(Mr. Galosich). Each class is taught in the place of an honors class. Upon
the completion of these extensive, college-level classes, a test is taken. It
is then scored on a 1 to 5 scale. If the score is a 3 or higher, college credit
is given. However, many colleges only accept 4’s or 5’s.

Each class has extra books and extra assignments. The classes usually
have in-depth discussions and require outside of school projects. During
the 1994-95 school year alone, the AP art class worked on murals and a
Jewish painting, and the AP Government class attended the Rotary
World Affairs Conference in February. There they discussed terrorism.

If you are up for a challenge and like to work hard, take an AP clas. See
what college will be like while you’re still in high school. The choice is
yours. Go ahead. Take the challenge.

3WS Shows Its Artistic Side

Be creative. Be creative? How can you be creative in school? The
answer is to take an art class. Some people take art in order to fulfill their
fine arts requirement, while others take art in order to explore their
artistic capabilities. Art gives people an opportunity to express them-
selves in ways words can’t. Each person learns something in art. Whether
it is learning the difference between two artists, how to carve a pumpkin,
the kinds of mediums that can be used or how to draw and paint,
everyone takes something with them when they leave.

Art is offered at many different levels of classes in order to ac-
comodate the beginner and the most advanced student. College credit
can also be gained through the Advanced Placement class. Projects from
all levels have been displayed at different exhibits throughout the city.
This has given the community the chance to see the artistic side of
Hammond High. Be creative. Experiment with your artistic talents.Take
an art class.

A Sit of Class

After years of going unrecognized for its
achievements, the Hammond High School band
finally won the admiration and respect of not
only other schools, but its own as well. Students
and spectators at football games were surprised
and then pleased to see the band marching in
uniforms for the first time in over three years.

Although it was a fairly young band under the
direction of a new drum major, the band soon
overcame its inexperience and self-
consciousness and began to wow the crowd with
new routines and new music.

The highlight of the year was the Hammond
Christmas Parade. The band went and com-
peted with other schools from the area. For the
competition, the band prepared and performed
a dance routine. After weeks of practice, the
band was able to bring a first place trophy home.

Besides marching season, the band performed
at various activities ranging from the Christmas
concert to the Senior Honors Day. Many don’t
realize what an important part the band plays in
keeping up the school’s morale and adding a
little bit of class to school functions.

A step to the future

Typing and business are now one of the most im-
portant jobs one can have today. There are a lot of
students who believe that typing is not needed, but
they are wrong. Typing is most needed in the junior
year, therefore freshmen and sophomores should take
the opportunity to take up typing.

Mr. Moretton, a teacher here at Hammond High,
teaches a good business and accounting class for any-
one who wants to advance in the business field.

The business and typing classes here at Hammond
High can be difficult at times, but if one works hard,
one can accomplish anything in the business and
typing department.

Achieving 'Tlew
‘Heights

1995 was yet another exciting year for the students
of the Hammond High choir. Not only did they
perform at school functions such as the Christmas
Program, Honors Day and Graduation, but they also
competed against other choirs. Mrs. Mary Rose Hunt,
the choir director, led the members of the choir to
new levels in music performance. Some people won-
der why students take choir class. Many students take
choir to fulfill the fine arts requirement. When they
finish the class, though, they have learned a lot. Mrs.
Hunt has been able to help the students overcome
their nervousness and shyness and teach them to
perform well in front of a large audience.

It’s ‘Required

In order to graduate from Hammond High School,
all students are required to take, and pass, four years
of English. During the course of the four years, stu-
dents have to prove themselves proficient in a great
variety of areas, ranging from giving speeches to writ-
ing compositions and research papers to being able to
read and interpret literary material. For those who
excel in English, HHS offers students a chance to take
advanced honors classes and to participate in HHS’s
own literary magazine entitled Speak Out . Speak Out
was started this past school year by teachers Miss
Parkhurst and Mrs. Silverman and has been well-
received by the student body.

Bs Gefalt (Dir!

“It looks like Agnes is going out
with that dead guy.”

“It turns out the guy sold his shad-
ow to the devil.”

Where is a Hammond High student
likely to hear gossip like this? In a
foreign language class! Foreign lan-
guage classes are among the most fun
courses offered at Hammond High.
In addition to cultural festivals, HHS
foreign language students have per-
mission to read books like “Green
Eggs and Ham,” have show and tell,
watch cartoons and play scrabble.
Don’t be fooled, though. Language
classes are serious classes.

Americans are often criticized for
their reluctance to learn foreign lan-
guages. Their willingness to take
classes like the ones offered at Ham-
mond High prove the statement is
false, and demonstrates their com-
mittment to international peace and
understanding. As the world becomes
increasingly smaller in size, the skills
that are learned in foreign language
classes become more important to
survival in an interdependent world.

lOhat’s Cooking?

Imagine learning to cook, sew,
and be creative. Our Home Eco-
nomics department offers all this
and a little bit more.

Mrs. Jay teaches foods and nu-
trition to anyone interested in
learning how to cook. Every Friday
her classes have to prepare an as-
signment which she planned dur-
ing that week. This class is not just
fun and games, it’s also a learning
experience for whomever takes the
class.

Mrs. McGuire and Mrs. Sharp
teach a sewing class here at Ham-
mond High. This class offers the
student a chance to learn more
about how patterns fit together
and how sewing becomes a part of
everyone’s life.

It’s all about
iPood!

What is Industrial Arts, really?
Is it necessary? That’s a question a
lot of us ask ourselves during our
four years here at Hammond High.
The answer to this question de-
pends upon whether or not the
skills learned in the industrial arts
classes are necessary for the job
you are planning to pursue at the
end of your high school career.

Mr. Brown, one of our teachers
here at Hammond High, teaches a
wood class. In this class he teaches
students how to build things and
use it in their future.

Mr. Hostetler is also one of our
Industrial Arts teachers here at
Hammond High. He teaches Me-
chanical Drawing to students who
want to become architects.

Hammond High’s English Department offers several jour-
nalism classes besides the normal English classes for students.
These classes include the Dunes yearbook and the Hammond
High Herald, the school newspaper. These classes are student-
run publications, and the students in these classes are fully
responsible for the completion of their respective publication.
These classes provide experience in writing stories, photog-
raphy and many other skills used in designing and putting
together a newspaper or yearbook. Students in these classes do
a very good job and have been very productive in recent years.
Interviews, selling ads, developing pictures and designing
layouts are all part of the job, and many students who have
participated in these classes have received scholarships in
journalism or photography. These classes provide excellent
training in writing and a background for those who would like
to pursue careers in journalism.

Is It Important?

“When am I ever going to use this in my
lifetime?” This is the most common comment
heard from students as they struggle through
their respective math classes. The truth is, math
plays an important role in everyone’s life. Many
professions require extensive math studies, in-
cluding calculus. A lot of applications of algebra
and other stages are presented in this course.
Hammond High offers a wide variety of math
programs ranging from basic math to AP Cal-
culus. Courses such as AIM Algebra/Trig also
allow a student to design the pace at which they
want to work. All of these courses are designed
to help students understand math and all of its
applications. Sometimes it’s used just to answer
the question, “When will I ever use this?”

It’s hard to believe, but some students get bored while they are in class.
For many freshmen, though, there is a class where they can take a break
from studying and working (and sleeping) in class and have some
physical activity. This class is physical education, more commonly called
P.E., or just plain “gym”. Students have a chance to play basketball and
volleyball with friends. Some freshmen also discover the exciting sport of
badminton and fall in love with it. When the weather is warm in the early
autumn or late spring, the P.E. teachers organize softball and baseball
games for their classes. Through all these sports, students learn to
appreciate the value of teamwork. P.E. class gives energetic, active
students the chance to do something and be with friends.

‘Psuch Students Get

Bxperience

Psychology is the study of human behavior. In this
fun and exciting, but challenging, class taught by Mr.
Galosich, students learn the mysteries of why humans
behave the way they do. Psychology students ex-
perience the practical aspects of the science through
hands-on activities such as describing dreams, med-
itating and walking around the school blindfolded.
Other activities include listening to and analyzing
music, writing daily journal entries and drawing pic-
tures. All of the fun activities are, of course, balanced
by periodic quizzes and tests which give the students
a chance to recall what they have learned. To many
students, this is probably the most enjoyable class at
Hammond High. Issues in psychology often become
the topics for lively discussions and even arguments
in class.

Science Students piave
Pun!

Where can one blow up something, shoot a plastic dart
gun, make the whole room smell, and look at the organs
of a worm? In the Hammond High School science class-
es, of course! From biology to chemistry and earth
science to physics, HHS students have a wide variety of
interesting science courses from which to choose.
Taught by exciting, caring teachers, the science classes
give students a chance to learn how the universe around
them works by investigating natural phenomena, per-
forming scientific experiments and collecting and com-
piling information. In the physics class, for example, the
workings of uniform acceleration are discussed, and in
chemistry class, students synthesize salts by mixing
acids and bases. Many of the science teachers like to
reinforce their teachings by taking the students on field
trips to places like the museums, colleges, the Indiana
Dunes and, believe it or not, Great America. Without
the teachings of science, the universe would be a com-
plete mystery to us. Hammond High science classes give
students a great start to understanding our earth,

Classes About ‘People

The most important thing in life to people is other people.
In social studies classes, students (and teachers, too) learn
about other people. In the world history and U.S. history
classes, students discover people of the past and how their
actions have affected our lives today. In these classes, the
students learn lessons from mistakes other people have made.
In economics class, students learn how money and posses-
sions affect the way people relate to each other. Government
class gives students an understanding of how people with
power control others. Not only are these classes very ed-
ucational, but they also provide and interesting setting for
discussions and arguments. It is during these discussions that
students learn the most about relationships. The social studies
classes may be the most important at Hammond High; it is
here that students learn about relationships between people of
the past and how they can apply the lessons they learn from
those relationships they have today.

IDho Are £?hey?

Did you ever wonder who those kids and teachers are
that we hardly see? Well, these teachers and students are
part of our special education program here at Hammond
High for students who need to be taught in a different
way.

There are six teachers here at Hammond High who
spend most of their time working with these students.
These teachers put much time and effort into helping
these students so that they can have a better education.
But, they’re not always here at Hammond High. These
students take field trips to different places to see dif-
ferent things, and that’s not all. These students are our
friends, just because they are different, doesn’t mean
that they can’t make a difference.

Academic

Endeavors

For those of you who aren’t athletically inclined, or
are, but you want to exercise your mind as well as your
body, there’s always the Academic Team. The Academic
Team competes in three competitions throughout the
year. In the fall there’s the Spell Bowl where, like a
spelling bee, you spell words, except everyone’s score is
combined into one team score. In the winter, there’s the
Academic Decathlon, which is a rigorous competition
that involves taking tests in English, history, math, fine
arts, social studies and science. It also involves writing
and presenting a speech and being interviewed. In this
competition, you can win individual and team medals.
Last, but not least, there is the Academic Super Bowl, in
which teams of three answer questions in either math,
social studies, science, English or fine arts. Each year,
the competition has a different theme, which the com-
petition is based on.

These competitions, like sports, require many hours of
work and dedication. In order for the team to do well,
everyone has to pull his or her fair share. In spite of this,
the competitions are a lot of fun and give you a feeling of
exhilaration when all of the work pays off, and you go up
to receive your award after competing with some of the
best schools in the state.

The 1 994-95 Drama Club found itself in a fix this year
with the auditorium condemned, so all of the plays were
performed at the Area Career Center. The Drama Club
put on three productions this year: Louder, I Can’t Hear
You!, Blues and Sister, Sister. All dealt with serious
subjects. Louder! and Blues were put on together in
February. Louder! was about a frustrated mother and
Blues was about the homeless. The spring production,
Sister, Sister was about the lives of a two sisters, one of
whom is mentally handicapped.

Some people look at drama as a way of escaping their
everyday lives, while others try out because acting is one
of their strong points. Even if acting is not one of your
strong points, there are other things to do, including
lighting, fixing hair, putting on make-up and set design,

Flower Power

MAKING HHS BEAUTIFUL. Freshman John Ly gathers dirt in
order to plant a flower. Photo by: R.Schneider.

Have you ever noticed the mysterious appearance of
flowers on the outside of the building or the even more
mysterious arrival of recycling containers in the caf-
eteria and by the pop machine? If you have, you’ve
probably also wondered who is responsible for these
deeds. The answer to that is HHS’s very own Envi-
ronmental Team. For the past Five years HHS has par-
ticipated in a citywide project known as Lever Releaf. As
a part of the project, Hammond High is given a $400
grant each year to be used to buy flowers to plant around
the school. Since becoming involved with the project,
HHS has won top honors several times. During the 94-
95 school year, the Environmental Team decided to
expand its activities and start an experimental recycling
program. After seeing the results of the can project, the
team may decide to start a full-blown project that in-
cludes the recycling of paper, plastic and glass as well.

Although they may not get much recognition for their
efforts, the HHS Environmental Team remains un-
daunted in their efforts to make the school, and the city,
a better place, proving the power of determination and
flowers.

Some Real Heroes

HERO stands for Home Economics Related Occu-
pations. The purpose of the HERO program is to give
seniors job experience. In the classroom, the students
learn basic skills such as how to write resumes, how to
file taxes, how to write thank-you letters and to get

After Ms. Sharp (sponsor) picks 20 eligible students,
she gives them two weeks to find a job. Then she goes to
their jobs to see if the students are doing well. The
students are evaluated every six weeks to get a grade.
The boss and Ms. Sharp come up with the grade to-
gether. It is not just a way to get out of class for a half
day, there is still work involved. They do have fun,
though. The students took a trip to the Jerry Springer
Show. Latisha Brown said, “all in all its just a fun class”,

A Few Helpful

“Keys”

If you ask someone, “What is the Key Club?”, what do
they do? Most people would say “they’re the ones that
work in the concession stand”. Although this is true, it’s
not all that they do.

The Key Club is a service club, and it helps the
community. Besides working in the concession stand,
selling balloons and co-hosting the Ethnic dinner, the
members do a lot more. The club members have food
drives to help feed the less fortunate families. They also
helped Lafayette Elementary School get computers. Half
of the money they raised selling balloons went towards
the computers, and the other half went towards helping
students go to conventions.

Future Leaders

What exactly is the National Honor Society? Children
in third grade know that when they’re in high school
they want to be in it, but why? What makes it such an
honor that third graders think about getting into it? Is it
all it’s cracked up to be?

The National Honor Society is an organization that
promotes recognition for students who demonstrate out-
standing abilities in scholarship, character, leadership &
service. Started in 1921 by the National Association of
Secondary Schools, this national organization’s objec-
tives were “to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to
stimulate a desire, to promote worthy leadership, and to
encourage the development of character in the nation’s
secondary school students.” Each member inducted into
the NHS is required to help with a service project that
the group as a whole must decide upon.

This is probably one of the most prestigious honors a
high school student can receive. This recognition is
regarded by colleges as a valid indicator of success in a
post-secondary school.

Under new sponsors, Mrs. Kostopoulos and Mrs.
McMquigg, Hammond High’s NHS has become more
active. In the past, the NHS was just a ceremony that
was participated in and a name of an organization, but
not much else. This year the NHS sponsored a Valentine
Day’s sucker sale and is participating in the Keep Amer-
ica Beautiful program, which Hammond is a part of. The
NHS showcase has been updated with photos of the new
members and decorated in blue and gold, the colors of
the NHS.

On April 6,1995, 12 new members, 3 seniors and 9
juniors, were inducted to the already 16-member field.
The 1994-1995 officers, Jeff Dick (president), Ony-
ekachi Nwabuko (vice president), Maria Spector
(secretary) and Maggie Foster (treasurer), gave their
titles to the new officers: Derrick White (president),
Patricia Eberle (vice president), Jane Griffith (secretary)
and Aisha Chism (treasurer).

What’s it all
about?

What is PSAC? PSAC, is the principal
student advisory committee? The principal advisory
committee is a group of students who meet with Mr.
White once a month to discuss the students concerns. At
Hammond High, the students concerns are all that
count.

To be on the principal student advisory committee,
students have to submit an essay to Mr. White, saying
why they want to be on the committe.

The PSAC brings up new ideas and concepts for the
school. PSAC is an important job. Though many sug-
gestions are brought up, only a few are given the go
ahead.

Caring Students

What are Peer Tutors?

Peer Tutors are young adults that help prepare the
mentally challenged to face life. This program is set up
so that caring people can help make a difference in the
lives of others.

When John S. and Laura B. were asked how they felt
about being peer tutors, they both replied that it was a
fun and a great experience for them to know that they
had helped to prepare someone to face the world.

If interested in this class, make sure your heart is in
the right place. Thanks to all peer tutors! You might not
have won a season, but you’ve won in the game of life.

Getting the Job
Done

SADD. What is it all about? Students Against Driving
Drunk consists of eleven to fifteen students who try to
influence their fellow students not to drink and drive.
SADD has a lot of meaning for those who are involved,
and it is because of that the members work to encourage
others not to drive while intoxicated. Members know
that driving drunk can effect everyone, and believe that
everyone should be involved. Although there are not
many members in SADD, they always seem to get the
job done.

SPEECH &
DEBATE

Through hard work, careful preparation and dedi-
cation, the Hammond High Speech and Debate team
managed to defeat nearly every team in the state. Those
teams included extremely competitive teams like Ko-
komo, Munster and Chesterton. The varsity debate rec-
ord stands at 40 wins and 1 5 losses with two tournament
championships. In addition to this outstanding record,
the teams of Brian and Matt Monberg and Peter
McAdams and Jan Cluck did a spectacular job at the
district competitions. The team consisting of Brian and
Matt took three rounds before getting eliminated. De-
spite the loss, Peter and Jan were still first alternates to
Nationals. All-in-all the Speech and Debate team had a
great season.

Making a
Difference

Can you imagine going through high school without
having a Homecoming or a Winter Formal? If the
thought of not having these events which alleviate the
tedium that is usually associated with school fills you
with horror, you should thank your Student Govern-
ment for putting in the hours of hard work and ded-
ication that planning these projects require. As soon as
school begins, the Student Government’s job begins. Its
first task is to pick a theme for the Homecoming gala.
After that, its job gets more complicated as the members
begin to work on the planning of the events that are
associated with Homecoming like the hayride and the
parade, not to mention the princess and queen elections.
Besides the Homecomings, the Student Government
arranges other events like the Winter Formal and a
student exchange between Hammond High and another
school. Although these events are not necessary, they are
a lot of fun, and they require the cooperation of lots of
people. Don’t just sit around and let other people plan
these events. Get involved and make a difference,

Helping

Out

During the 1994 foot-
ball season, Caryn Cor-
riere, Tiffany Hendrix,
and Francesca Ollivieri
had the distinct honor of
being water girls for the
Wildcat football team. It
was a rewarding task. The
girls managed water and
towels and delivered them
to the boys on the field.

The team managers for
basketball were Qiana
Hardy, Bernice Flores, and
Keely Jones. The manag-
ers’ job was to make sure
the team is organized be-
fore each game. These
managers had to be on top
of things and they did just
that. They kept everything
in check. As water girls
and managers of the foot-
ball and basketball teams
they got into all the games
free.

WHAT’S THE

Small In Numbers, Big In Hearts

The 1994 football team had its best season since 1988.
The Wildcats brought back school spirit and pride that
had not been here for years. The Wildcats only had
about 40 people on the squad in August, and that made
it seem as though it would be a mediocre season. Wrong.
The Wildcats were small in size but big in heart.

The Wildcats started the regular season by beating
Griffith, a state ranked team, and then went on to win
their next two games against Gavit and Clark. The
team’s fourth game was the Homecoming game against
the Highland Trojans. Hammond was expected to dom-
inate the Trojans. Instead, the Wildcats barely squeaked
by with a 9-6 win after a fourth quarter touchdown pass.
After that win, Hammond continued on its roll and shut
out Morton and demolished Roosevelt.

The seventh game was a game to be remembered. The
Wildcat’s opponent was one of the Wildcat’s largest
rivals: Munster. The Wildcats had only beaten Munster
one time on the Mustangs’ field. It didn’t look good for
the Wildcats in the fourth quarter. Munster was up by a
field goal with five minutes on the clock, and the Wild-
cat offense had to score. That’s exactly what happened.
Quarterback Johnny Serbentas hooked up with wide
receiver Keith Herron for a 77-yard touchdown that put
the Wildcats ahead and led the team to win one of the
most competitive and exciting games in the school’s
history.

Hammond’s final game of the regular season was
against Bishop Noll. This game would decide whether or
not the Wildcats would have their first undefeated reg-
ular season since 1983. Hammond spanked Noll and

earned the honor of being Black Conference Champions.

It was now playoff time. The Wildcats drew Gary
Roosevelt for game one of the playoffs. The Wildcats
had no trouble killing Roosevelt again. The second game
of the playoffs was against Gary Lew Wallace, a state-
ranked school. That game would determine who would
go to the Sectional Championship, and it was predicted
to be a dogfight. Lew Wallace’s high-powered offense
scored right away. Hammond’s number one ranked de-
fense held Wallace to six points for the whole game.
Meanwhile, the Wildcat offense scored in the fourth
quarter with just minutes remaining, taking the 10-0
Wildcats to the Sectional Championship against Lake
Central.

Hammond went into the game as the underdog, and
was expected to be defeated early and easily. The first
half was a battle between the defenses, due to the field’s
being drenched. The Indians scored on a play in the last
seconds of the first half and ended up ahead. The Wild-
cat offense was held under 100 yards the whole game,
and the Indians scored again in the fourth quarter. The
Wildcats went home heartbroken and with a 1 5-0 loss.
Overall, the Wildcat football team had a season that
many other teams could only dream about. After all, not
only did they become conference champs, they did the
impossible and brought back school spirit, something
that had been missing for a long time. They made
everyone proud of the team and Hammond High, in-
cluding other schools, who learned to respect the mighty
Wildcats.

The freshmen football team had a good season this
year. Although they lost to two of their opponents, their
unstoppable offense and defense allowed them to com-

The team captains were Art Williams, Anton Chase,
Chad Jacobs, and defensive leader was Byron Burns.
Quarterback Jermain Boyette was an essential part of
the team. Rakim Jackson contributed by scoring 17
touchdowns.

The Hammond High Junior Varsity 1994 football
season began on August 31st with a loss against Griffith
and ended with a win against Bishop Noll on Oct. 17.
The Junior Varsity Wildcats won two of its six games.

Striving for
Their Best

This year’s frosh volleyball team put great effort into
their games. The team was coached by Tenisha Allen, a
former HHS athlete. On average, Frosh teams play
about four games. This year the team had eight sched-
uled games. The freshman Lady Cats kept their heads
high and still gave it their best.

The junior varsity team had a lot of talented players,
but they needed a little more communication and de-
termination. Their record does not show how well they
really played when it is taken into consideration that the
squad mainly consisted of freshmen and sophomores.
Junior Rickeia Cotton was the captain of the junior
varsity team.

Diggin’ It Out

This year the volleyball team lacked experience. There were only two returning
Varisity players, Keely Jones and Qwin Daniels.

Although they were a young and inexperienced team, they tried their best to put
together a winning season. Unfortunately their record was 6-15.

The team struggled all season long in their efforts to win a conference game. The
Lady Cats went into sectionals and won against E.C. Central, which put them into the
Championship bracket.

The Lady Cats went into their game against Bishop Noll and played as hard as they
could. Unfortunately the Lady Cats lost to the Warriors, but they captured the runner-
up title, which no other volleyball team has done in four years.

True Colors Shining
Through

The Hammond High soccer team had a decent season this year. They finally broke a
1 0 year losing streak to Munster, tieing them 2 to 2 in overtime.

It was a different season for the Wildcats since soccer became a state sport.
Indiana’s first soccer sectional tournament was held this year.

The Wildcats were led by some great senior players such as Carlos Cook, Danny
Mayorga, and Tim Zilz. Along with junior Bruno Moreno, these four players were
awarded All-Area second team, and All-Conference.

In the first state sectional, the Wildcats faced Noll in the second round. It was a very
intense game. Goals were being scored back and forth. In the end Noll won 3-2.

The J.V. had a rough season, but they showed a lot of potential stars for upcoming
seasons.

Going the Extra
Mile

This season, the girls’ cross country team ran into
some trouble and ended the season with a record of 0
wins and 9 losses. Although on paper they didn’t win, in
their hearts, they are true winners. These girls tried hard
to do the best that they could and were up early on
Saturdays running their hearts out, rain or shine. Rick-
eia Cotton and Lisa Lesniewski showed how determi-
nation can pay off. They both lettered in this excellent
but tiring sport. They’re winners!

The boys’ cross country team had a disappointing
start with only three returning runners: Danny Mayorga,
Les Ramos, and Ruben Rosario. Three of the runners
also participated in other fall sports.

Although the team only won two out of eight meets,
the members showed pride in their colors and fought
hard until the very end. I give the members of this team
credit. They have true school spirit.

Both the girls’ and the boys’ cross country teams put
forth great efforts to complete their respective seasons.
Their dedication proves that sometimes winning isn’t as
important as how you play the game.

Swimming:Deep Depth = A
History-Making Season

A little before 7 a.m. on August 5, 1994, the Ham-
mond High girls’ swim team gathered in a group outside
the pool doors. In just a few minutes, three months of
intense training and competition were about to start.
With the loss of ten swimmers from the previous year,
no one knew how the season was going to turn out, but
they were all hoping for the best.

At 7:55 p.m. on September 1 3, 1 994, the girls defeated
Bishop Noll, a long time rival, for the first time in the
team’s nine year history. The score was 109 to 73. The
team was now 2-2. Would the girls have a winning
season? YES! With wins against Hobart, Griffith, Cal-
umet, Lowell, two against Gavit, in addition to the win
against Noll, the team ended its regular season with a
record of seven wins and six losses. This was the first
winning season in the team’s history.

The girls also had a record breaking season. A total of
ten records, divided up among four events, were broken.
Maria Spector broke her own six-dive record
twice, ending up with a score of 198.85. Rachel Stern
broke the 50 freestyle record three times (old- 29.47,
new- 29.03), which had previously stood since 1 986, and

Patty Eberle broke the 1 00 breaststroke two times (old-
1 :26.67, new- 1 :24.90), also a record that had stood since
1986. Finally, the 200 free relay team, consisting of
Caryn Corriere, Diana Cruz, Rachel Stem, and Maggie
Foster, broke the record three times, with a drop of
almost four seconds off the previous record set last
season.(01d- 2:02.42, New- 1:58.56).

The girls’ season ended with Sectionals at Munster.
The 200 medley relay, the 200 record-breaking team,
and the 400 free relay placed 4th, 5th, and 6th re-
spectively. On an individual note, Caryn Corriere, Patty
Eberle, and Amber Freese placed 8th, 11th, and 12th
respectively in the 200 IM, and Rachel Stern placed 12th
in the 50 free. In diving, Maria Spector and Darlene
Bellinger placed 8th and 10th respectively. The 100
butterfly had Amber Freese placing 8th and Maggie
Foster 10th. Trava Buono took 12th in the 500 free and
Patty Eberle placed 9th in the 1 00 breaststroke. Overall,
the team took 5th place, which ended the season on a
good note and demostrated the “Deep Depth” of the
team.

Starting Over

The boys’ swim team went through a lot of changes
during the 1994-95 school year. For a number of years
William Bowers, a shop teacher at the Area Career
Center, was the boys swim coach. This year Brian Jacks,
a second year U.S. History teacher here at Hammond
High, chose to take over the Hammond High swim
team. Mr. Jacks worked very hard to make his team a
powerful one. Swimming is a sport that requires a lot of
hard work and dedication. The boys practiced twice a
day with one practice beginning at six o’clock in the
morning and the other right after school. The team
captains did a lot to keep the team together. Regan
Rokita, diving coach for both the boys and the girls’
teams, coached Cory Baker, William Schneider and
Frank Eggers through the diving competitions. The
boys’ swim team ended their season with a record of 5-7
and a fifth place in Sectionals.

Rough Season but
Promising Future

The Lady Wildcats put forth a great effort to become the “Quad Squad.” Un-
fortunately, the team’s past successes did not rub off on the young team. The team
captains were Shaniece Smith and Qwin Daniels, the only senior. Both were later
selected to become members of the All Conference team. Although the team’s record
was only 9-10, it did not reflect the team’s determination and its effort to put together
a winning season.

After winning the first three games, the Lady Cats thought that the season would
continue to be a good one. Before the Lady Cats lost to Calumet, they had not lost a
conference game in three years. Undaunted by the defeat, the Lady Cats continued
reaching for their goal.

During the West Side game, the Lady Cats lost Danish Williams, a valuable player.
In spite of this setback, the Cats continued to fight and claw their way into the
conference championship game against Bishop Noll. The Lady Cats lost, and their
dream of becoming the “Quad Squad” was destroyed.

Pulling it
together

The Jv Lady Wildcats adjusted to high school bas-
ketball very quickly. This year the Jv girls had a new
coach name Don Plohg. Their record was 7- 1 1 .This
group of young ladies showed great a amount of talent.
The team captains were Rickeia Cotton and Mary Law.
There were others on the team members that showed
great leadership such as:Samantha Knight, Christina
Moore and Lisa Lesniewsky. The Jv Lady Wildcats
worked together very well, which by the way makes a
team. The Jv team was made up with seven freshmen
and three sophomores. I think that this it is very good to
have a young team to start off with because in the years
to come this group of young ladies will make it very far.
Keep up the good work and don’t stop working hard . It
will pay off!

Working

together

The Freshman Wildcat team played well, and these
young athletes adjusted to High School basketball quick-
ly. Their record was 14-4. When asked what was the
difference between middle school and High school many
replied more practices and crowd participation. There
were a couple of memorable games. The first that stands
out is against Morton, with tree seconds left Mike Caston
hit a jumper to win the game. This young team learned
to worked together to win. Keep up the good work.

Teamwork

Makes a Difference

The Wildcats had a phenomenal season this year,
going from a record of 7-14 (93-94) to 18-5 (94-95).
Teamwork was the reason, and the stats prove that
everyone did their share. Some players that really stood
out were Brian Swanson, Cory Moore, Keith Herron and
Fred Williams. Others who played hard but didn’t get as
much recognition were David McAdams, Tony Chase
and Mike Pote.

The season began slowly with two losses to Wirt and
Noll, but the Wildcats quickly picked it up with a nine
game winning streak. They worked hard and gained
their recognition as the Lake 1 0 Conference champs.

Keep on Movin’

This year alone, the Hammond High Pom Rats had two
different teams and two different sponsors! At the be-
ginning of the year Mrs. Schiralli was the Pom Kats’ spon-
sor, but then Mrs. Jones took over the poms because Mrs.
Schiralli became ill. The Pom Kats also went through a lot
of personnel changes over the year. In spite of all these
obstacles, the Pom Kats kept trying and managed to keep
themselves together and their heads held high, even when
the squad was threatened with disbandment. For the com-
ing year, the Pom Kats will have a choreographer, Marsha
Ester, who is a former Hammond High student . The Pom
Kats practice every day to make sure that they get their
routine right.

Givin’ It Their All

The Hammond High baseball team, struggled through
this year, suffering through a 7-15 season. The team
stared out hot by winning four out of their first six
games. Then the team took a turn for the worse and lost
the next 12 games that they played. Marvin Smith was
the bright spot for the Wildcats, having a batting average
near .400 all season long. “The Wildcats lost many close
games, and pitching has not been the problem,” stated a
member of the baseball team.

Honorable mention All-Conference Ron Zack led the
team with Pete Moore and Mike Pote. Jake Sheehy
provided leadership and quality games along with
sophmores Chris Moore and Freddie Akers. The Wild-
cats turned it around toward the of the season, becoming
a team and not individuals. The Wildcats lost against EC
Central by one point.

A New Beginning

This year the Hammond High softball team had a new
beginning. There were two new coaches, Stacey Kimmen
and, a former softball player, BK Cowart. There were
also seven freshmen that came out for softball, and four
returning seniors. The team captains were Maria
Spector, Cheryl Maman, Qwin Daniels and Sheri
Mathis.

These ladies went through a rough season, only win-
ning 2 out of 1 5 games. They had long practices to try to
work out their errors. Some people worked harder then
others, and they tried as hard as they could to win more

than two games. The lady Wildcats had a lot of younger
teammates that were not use to playing high school
softball. Some people say that these girls didn’t have a
lot of talent, but they were wrong. These girls had talent,
dedication and some had experience, but they just didn’t
know how to play together as a team and not as in-
divduals. These girls deserved to win more then two
games, but they didn’t work as a team. If they would
have worked as a team, they probably would have won
more then what they did!

Swingin’ Away!

This year the Hammond High golf team had seven
players that came out for the team and completed the
year. The Hammond High golf team won 4 games and
only lost five. These young men were making a great
amount of improvement. This is the best record that the
golf team have had in a couple of years.

These young men worked hard and they had to have a
lot of patience to win and to also put up with the funny
weather that mother nature gave them this spring. Con-
gratulations to the HHS Golf team on their great suc-
cesses.

by:Qwin Daniels

They’re Back. . .

There was a new addition to the girls tennis team this
year: Coach Bob Kitchell and his sister Nancy, the
assistant coach. The team had a lot of improvements
and Coach Kitchell was a big help. Since they took over
the team, Coaches Bob and Nancy have helped it to
improve such things as serving, hitting backhands and
forehands. But overall, the team worked hard to make

their season a better one.

Even though the overall season was not that great,
they had many personal bests. The number one doubles
pair worked hard to get to regionals even though they
had a tough time advancing to state.

“We may not have the quantity, but we do have a lot of quality.” Coach Brown
would start each practice after school with these words for his runners. The boys’ track
team was down to six runners half way through the season. Despite the lack of
participants, the team had some of the top runners in the region. The Wildcats
surprised all of lake county by placing second at the Lake Ten Conference Cham-
pionship. Boys’ MVP was Kachi Nwabuko.

The girls, on the other hand, had much better luck with participation. Coach
Popplewell managed to keep most of her team throughout the season and had some
top runners of her own. The Lady Wildcats did well at the conference champsionship,
and seven made it past sectionals, including two shot and disc throwers. Girls’ MVP
was Rickeia Cotton.

Changing Times

Times are changing and so is the H.H.S. cheerleading
team. This year they expanded the Varsity squad to 12,
the JV to 8 and the Freshmen to 6 cheerleaders on each
squad. With these additions they were able to reach
great heights.

One event they participated in was a summer camp at
Northern Illinois University in which they spent their
time learning new cheers and stunt techniques. In the
fall, they won a fourth place trophy in the Purdue
Calumet Cheer Competition. One of their biggest ac-
complishments was competing in the Hammond Christ-
mas Parade in which they won a first place trophy.
During basketball season the cheerleaders held a camp
for first through fifth grade elementary students (“Kitty
Kats”) in which the cheerleaders taught them cheers,
gymnastics and stunts. The Kitty Kats then performed at
a basketball game at half-time.

“Being a cheerleader has been a lot of hard work, but
I’ve had the chance to watch our team grow. We’ve
shared many good and bad times together. I wish the
new cheerleaders all the luck in the world, and I’ll miss
them very much.”

Smooth Runnings

The job of running a school as large as Hammond
High School is a tough one that requires the cooperation
of many different people. Every job, large or small,
makes an essential contribution to keeping Hammond
High running smoothly. Those people charged with the
task of running HHS include the custodial staff which
keeps the school clean and beautiful and the cafeteria
staff which supplies the school with not only lunch, but
also breakfast, and the teachers and administrators
whose job it is to educate and discipline the students.
Not to be left out are the security guards who work extra
hours in addition to working for the police force to keep
Hammond High School a safe place. These are only a
few of the people who work diligently at Hammond
High, providing the structure, balance and the rules that
Hammond High School’s students love to hate, but
realize are necessary to their well-being.

A New Beginning

As freshmen, students begin to realize where they
stand in life. They are looked at as the “little people”
because they are starting from the bottom all over again.
It’s the beginning of a long journey for the class of 1998,
and they, like those that went before them, will have
their share of disappointments. They also have a lot to
look forward to in the years to come. They will have
many advantages that they didn’t have as freshmen.
They will be able to compete on the varsity level and
attend the prom. They will also have new adventures
and experiences. The class of 1998 still has quite a way
to go before graduation, but in the mean time, they will
enjoy their time at Hammond High School.

As students step out of their freshmen year and into
their sophomore year, they enter a whole new world.
They also take a step away from their old freshmen fears.

They face new challenges and new obstacles. Some of
the advantages for sophomores includes being able to
attend the Prom if asked by an upperclassmen and
playing on a varsity sport team if skilled enough.

Some of the obstacles sophomores face are having to
choose classes that fit their interests and also having to
decide what type of life to lead through the rest of their
high school years.

Eyes Forward

The junior year is the most difficult time for many
high school students. It’s the year that students have to
start planning for their futures, deciding where to go to
college, taking the dreaded SAT’s and even more im-
portantly, making the grades.

The juniors are expected to be accountable, mature
and responsible for their own actions. The class of 1996
exemplifies these traits and always followed through,
working hard to make it their most memorable year. The
true challenge, however, still lies ahead of them in the
form of their senior year. Are they ready for it? Who
knows. The future holds many things yet to be known,

Children are often intimidated by teenagers. They
make them afraid. Their laughter, their tears, their harsh
language are things they don’t really understand. Now,
as the class of 1 995 stands ready to graduate, it realizes
what it feels like to stand on the threshold of the future.
For 227 Hammond High seniors, 1995 is the magic
number. It started off with half of the class in a program
called CORE. Now, four years later the class is ready to
leave Hammond High as it came in: with a bang. The
class’s philosophy can be summed up in the words of one
graduating senior, “There’s nothing wrong with a little

experimentation.” It as a class has a tradition of chal-
lenging the limits set for it. The 1994-95 Wildcat foot-
ball team needs no introduction. The girls’ swim team in
the ’94-95 season broke no less than 10 records. Perhaps
more important, however, are the countless individuals
who work and play behind the scenes. All one has to do
is look around. The class of 1995 has clearly left Ham-
mond High School a better place than it found it. The
graduating seniors can leave HHS confident that they
can have the same effect upon the world.

Letter From the Editor

I just wanted to thank the following people for the many hours of hard work they
put into the finishing up of the yearbook. They gave up part of their summer
vacation, many finishing work neglected by others.

Dan Brehmer

Diana Cruz For jumping in and finishing the Academics section. Best of luck next
year! See you next summer! (You know what I mean!)

Qwin Daniels For working so hard and not complaining (at least, not much!) when
things went wrong, even when I know you wanted to scream.

Jeff Dick For coming in and working on the yearbook, even though you weren’t on
the staff. I can’t thank you enough for all of the work (even though we had to hold

you hostage!). . . .

Tenesha Pennington For sticking with it through thick and thin (and things did get
pretty thin, didn’t they?), even though you didn’t have a whole lot of help.

Thanks again, guys! I Love ya!
Shannon

This section is dedicated to the graduating seniors of the Class of
1995. After four years of hard work and dedication, the seniors are
finally ready to take their first steps away from Hammond High School
and into the world that lies before them. Their futures are uncertain, but
they still look forward, their eyes full of hope and their hearts full of
dreams, ready to overcome whatever obstacles that may stand in their
way. Still, everyone needs a reminder of past happiness when times are
dark, and that is what this section is for; it is here to give the seniors one
last glimpse into their final year of HHS, the year that they made things
happen.

Seniors Look to the
Future

The day that the seniors had been looking forward to
ever since they were freshmen at Hammond High finally
arrived on Sunday, June 4, 1995. It was a day of great
joy and a time to celebrate, but it was also a time of
sadness. As Mr. White mentioned, it was the last time
that the Class of 1995 would ever be assembled as one
group. Of course, there were tears as people thought
about friends and teachers that will be missed. Above
the tears, though, there were many smiles — smiles from
thinking about all the wonderful memories of Ham-
mond High and things to come in the future.

In Hammond High’s crowded gymnasium, parents,
relatives and friends watched, smiled and cried as Mr.
Don Sohaki of the school board handed the graduates
their diplomas. Now the graduates will go on to be
business people, doctors, lawyers, teachers. As they go
on to be successful in the future, the memories they
gained and lessons they learned at Hammond High will
always be with them. The graduates, always proud to be
Wildcats, will be the world’s future leaders and heroes,

Well, another year has ended and
another chapter has closed in the
story of Hammond High School.
Your humble Dunes staff and
fellow classmates have worked
diligently all year to put together
a small souvenir to remind you
of the 1994-95 school year, and,
although it’s not perfect, we
hope that it is a worthy memento
of the events that made it a year
to remember. Now that the year
is over, it leaves us wondering
WHAT’S NEXT? for the Wild-
cats. As we can only record the
present as it

happens, we can only hazard a
guess. For the underclassmen
who continue on at our dear
HHS, you will probably have an-
other exciting year, full of bro-
ken records and new achieve-
ments. As for the seniors, it is
impossible to know. We can only
wish them the best of luck as
they make their way into an un-
certain world and go their sep-
arate ways. In closing, the 1995
yearbook staff would like to bid
you a fond farewell and the best
of luck.
